Sue Sylvester:
[
to Will and Bryan]
I came over here to congratulate you on your new role. Local director Herb Duncan does the dry clean for the cheerios, and he let slip that you just landed the lead role in Les Mis!
[
Will looks overwhelmed, and Bryan lets go of his smile]
Sue Sylvester:
Congratulations. I'm ecstatic! And the good news just keep coming, because you got a part too, Bryan. The exciting role of Townsperson. You got a line too. Right back here in the second act, you get to say... 'Hooray!' Congratulations to both...

I enjoyed this episode so much! I watched it because I was curious how Neil Patrick Harris looks there and wanted to hear him sing again :D but I enjoyed the whole thing! I tried watching the very first episode of Glee and it was a disaster - ugly teens, stupid problems, high school drama in Broadway style - HORRIFIC! but this episode felt great! I loved all the songs on it, that flash mob styled dance in the mall was super awesome and Dream On cover was great (I borderline hated even Adam Lambert's cover of Aerosmith - see, I'm a fan of Adam Lambert now but my first love in music was Aerosmith and then till forever it doesn't get any better than Aerosmith). I liked how little drama there were and the songs did entertain me big time so that I didn't even notice how 40 minutes of the show passed.
